Mike Herbert of Rogers, Arkansas, explodes off the starting line as if shot from a cannon. The occasion is the Battle On The Bayou canoe and kayak race at Ocean Springs, Mississippi, in 2017. Over Mike's right shoulder the Pellerin triplets of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana--Conrad, Carson, and Peyton--move their three-man kayak into the lead for the "unlimited" boat class.
The 2023 edition of this event is scheduled for this Saturday, and Mike is signed up to participate. I doubt the Pellerin boys will be there: they're young adults now and busy with other things. But I hope we haven't seen the last of them in our sport.
